OpenID protocol diagramSteven J. Murdoch
I found that the OpenID
specifications did not give a clear overview of the
protocol message flow. So I produced a protocol diagram, which summarises
the roles of the various parties, messages sent between them and their
important components. Not all details are covered, and only the normal
protocol traces are considered so it certainly should not be considered
as an alternative to the specification, but I hope it will provide
some clarification.
